Effective immediately, the Clark County Probate Court is moving all its hearings from the Family Court to Courtroom 3F in the RJC. Chambers for Probate Commissioner Wesley Yamashita will remain at the Family Court for the time being.
Here is the schedule of interviews for the candidates applying for the two vacancies on the bench in the Eighth Judicial District Court.
Judge Susan Scann heard three hours of argument yesterday regarding the RJ’s request of witness payment records from the DA’s office. [RJ]
Did you know there was a Las Vegas Municipal Court Women in Need of Change (WIN) Court? [Fox5Vegas]
In Nevada Supreme Court Case 66876, Breeden v. Eighth Judicial District Court, the Court issued a decision in favor of attorney Adam Breeden saying you don’t get attorney fees for a voluntary dismissal.
Brian Jones, a suspended attorney who pleaded guilty to charges in the HOA Scandal, testified the other day about his role. [RJ]
I appeared in front of Bulla the other day and she was the nicest I have ever seen her. I suspect she is faking kindness to get the promotion to "real" judge, but I hope the commission sees through that ploy. On the other hand, being able to finally preempt her would be nice too. I am torn …
I had a similar experience a couple of weeks ago. A few things happened in my hearing that I would have expected her to excoriate opposing counsel for, and she was completely chill and indifferent.
Has everyone forgotten Tom Biggar? On her worst day, Bonnie is far better. She may display some unnecessary attitude from time to time, but her rulings are pretty reasonable in my experience. Your mileage my vary.
I don't want the lesser of two evils. I want a commissioner that is thankful she has a job with a PERS pension and treats lawyers with respect. If she doesn't like her job, she should get a different one. Nobody is forcing her to hear the "trivial" discovery disputes that come before her.
This is reminiscent of the Deputy Constable who worked for Johny B and missed a dead body during an eviction. The actual physical presence of a recently deceased person regrettably happens sometimes, but this one is new for me. I'll let the pros answer this one, but doesn't this seem to transcend attorney-client confidentiality just a teeny bit?
You can't conceal evidence (the stiff), or allow your services to be used in furtherance of a crime (mishandling of a corpse). Since he brought the corpse to your office, he's trying to use your services/office to commit a crime, and you can break confidentiality.

The pimp and ho ball! I miss those days! See the real freaks of the legal community!
I am with 12:02. Each one of these public employees should be humble and grateful.
I've always found Commissioner Bulla to be reasonable and consistent. All I want in a judge, she'll be just fine.
Anyone want to talk about the Florida man who brought the body of the guy he killed to his lawyer? Would you even know what to do?

The real question is what would Saul Goodman do? (WWSGD?)
